The Inhabitat editors couldn't help but go gaga over this costume of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. We love Rob Miller's creative use of cardboard boxes and silver paint to make this utterly unique costume. We'll definitely remember it when we're concocting our own costumes next year!

Ria Burns took first place with her amazing Tesco Plastic Bag Warrior Princess costume, which is made entirely from old supermarket bags. Putting her massive collection of plastic Tesco bags to good use, Burns created the bodice of the outfit by cutting 15 bags into strips and weaving them together by hand. She then sewed strips of more bags to the bottom of the bodice to create the skirt, and she completed the outfit with a sword cut out from recycled cardboard. Ria’s costume receive 150 votes, putting it solidly in first place!

The silver medal went to Benjoseph Manibog’s awesome costume, which is based off of Character 9 from Tim Burton’s movie “9.” Manibog showed off his superb sewing and paper mache skills, crafting this professional-looking costume by sewing together burlap rice bags. The head, hands, and staff are made with newspaper paper mache and cardboard, making the whole outfit light and easy to carry. Character 9 was in the lead for most of the Green Halloween competition, but ultimately landed in second place with an impressive 135 votes.

Using just a bike helmet, battery-powered lights, a big plastic salad bowl, and some cellophane, Carrie Ortiz created a luminous jellyfish costume that won third place. Ortiz combined everyday items to create an easy-to-replicate costume that would light up any party. First, she glued color-changing lights to the inside of a clear salad bowl, then she attached strands of cellophane to the bowl, and finally secured the whole thing to a bike helmet – voila!

EDITORS’ CHOICE AWARDS

Perhaps it’s our sweet tooth talking, but we loved Paul’s playful pinata costume. Paul used cardboard boxes collected from Costco to fashion an oversized pinata, which he decorated with strips of colored party streamers. Paul even made pockets out of tissue paper that he filled with candy and then let his friends beat the sweets out of him!
